Caitlin Clark best bet for Saturday, May 9
Caitlin Clark Over 2.5 threes (-140)
vs. Dallas Wings
Clark remains the engine of Indiana’s offense, and this matchup sets up especially well for her from deep in what’s currently the highest-total game of the weekend. Dallas has struggled to contain perimeter guards, and Clark’s volume alone makes this number attractive when she’s getting clean looks in transition and off high screens.

Caitlin Clark props breakdown
Caitlin Clark’s nightly prop lines are driven by volume, usage, and game script. Here’s how to approach each market:
-
Points: High-volume scorer, but efficiency can swing game to game. Best used in fast-paced matchups.
-
Assists: Most consistent edge. Clark operates as the primary creator, making this her most reliable prop.
-
Rebounds: Secondary stat. Heavily dependent on pace and opponent shooting.
-
Threes: High variance. Volume is there, but streaky shooting makes this a risk/reward play.

Clark has already established herself as the engine of Indiana’s offense, while Dallas is now building around Bueckers as the new face of the franchise. With both guards expected to dominate the ball and push tempo, this projects as one of the most entertaining offensive matchups of opening weekend.

MVP Betting outlook
Caitlin Clark enters the 2026 season near the top of the WNBA MVP odds board, with sportsbooks viewing her as one of the league’s most valuable offensive engines heading into opening weekend.
The case is obvious. Clark drives Indiana’s pace, controls possession at an elite level, and generates massive scoring volume both for herself and her teammates. Few players in the league combine usage, shot creation, and national attention the way she does.
If the Fever take another step forward in the standings, her statistical profile and visibility will keep her firmly in the MVP conversation throughout the year.
